MALCOLM GLAZER, the American tycoon, has been invited to meet Manchester United officials on the club’s pre-season tour to the United States as he decides whether to proceed with a bid to take over the club. United have encouraged Glazer, owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers American football franchise, to witness the United phenomenon at first hand, having recently increased his stake in the club to 19.17 per cent.

United remain uncertain about Glazer’s intentions, but they have sought to establish a working relationship with him since David Gill, the chief executive, travelled to Florida to meet him this summer.
